What Yumgo does
Yumgo (legally TAMAGO FOOD SAS) is a French food technology company founded in 2019 by Anne Vincent and baker-pâtissier Rodolphe Landemaine to develop plant-based substitutes for whole eggs, egg whites, and egg yolks. Its core technology combines proprietary blends of vegetable proteins (mungo bean, rapeseed, fava bean, pea), natural fibers (acacia, flax), and gelling agents (gellan gum, xanthan gum, agar-agar) to replicate the three functional roles of eggs: binding and coagulating (Entier), foaming and stabilizing (Blanc), and emulsifying and coloring (Jaune), with a separate Omelette line for savory applications. The portfolio is offered in three format tiers—consumer (54-84g), professional (1kg), and industrial (15kg)—plus ready-to-use mixes, finished cookies and mousses, and a Milatea hazelnut spread sub-brand, with allergen-free, vegan-certified, 18-month ambient shelf-life positioning. The business operates a hybrid B2B/B2C go-to-market: direct e-commerce through yumgo.fr for individual consumers and an Espace Pro system for chefs, supported by a tier-1 distributor network anchored by Puratos in France and premium partners (Classic Fine Foods UK, Cnudde Benelux, Prodotti Gianni Italy, Rungis Express Germany, La Rousse Foods Ireland) across 10+ countries. Revenue is generated through unit-priced product sales with no subscription or licensing model, currently scaled via a 1,500 tons/year production facility opened in Moissy-Cramayel in October 2025 following a €3M Series A in June 2024.

Yumgo competitors and assessment

- Oggs: UK-based brand using aquafaba (chickpea water) to make plant-based egg replacers and ready-made products. Comparable to Yumgo in plant-based egg category and operates in the same UK/European markets.
- Eat Just (JUST Egg): JUST Egg is the most prominent global plant-based egg brand, selling liquid and folded egg alternatives made from mung bean protein. Directly comparable to Yumgo's mungo bean-based omelette product and competes in the same plant-based egg category.
- Follow Your Heart (VeganEgg): VeganEgg is a plant-based whole-egg powder replacement sold primarily through natural and specialty food channels in the US. Comparable to Yumgo's Entier powder format and 1:1 substitution use cases in baking.
- Bob's Red Mill (Egg Replacer): Leading US natural-foods brand selling a gluten-free egg replacer powder widely used in home and small-batch professional baking. Comparable to Yumgo in format and home-baking use case, though less specialized than Yumgo's component-specific portfolio.
- The Vegg: Vegan brand specializing in plant-based egg yolk replacer powder, primarily for savory applications. Directly comparable to Yumgo's Jaune (yolk replacer) and overlaps in the same professional pastry/culinary segments.
- ORGRAN (Vegan Egg Replacer): Australian brand producing a dedicated vegan egg replacer powder using starches and legumes, sold globally. Directly comparable to Yumgo Entier as a 1:1 baking substitute and competes on shelf in the same specialty/vegan baking aisle.

Broad incumbents

- NotCo (NotEgg): NotCo uses AI-driven formulation to produce plant-based dairy, meat, and egg alternatives including NotEgg. Comparable to Yumgo in plant-based egg category but operates as a multi-category incumbent with significantly more capital.
